What happens if they identify something even more distant? Do they name it Fartherout or something?

Furtherout*


I don't know if I agree...

The widely accepted rule is to use farther when being literal and discussing a physical distance, as in He went farther down the road. Further is used when discussing a more symbolic distance or to discuss a degree or extent, as in I wanted to discuss it further, but we didnt have time.
